    Cyber Hobby (Dragon) Bf109E Trop

    Looking good Barry I’m not that great at cockpit painting I use the right colours but never seems to stand out all that well. The curse of dragon strikes again I don’t like their instructions it gives me brain ache trying to work them out.

    Attaching small pieces

    I concur with the ca method I always paint the small parts separately and attach with ca and a spray of activator and yeah don't fiddle with it, using the activator does not affect your already painted model.

    Panel line scribing

    I've used a couple of different scribes the Trumpeter one and ones similar to the type john has in his shop. As I work mainly in 1/32 or 1/35 they have both proved accurate and easy to handle but then again the bigger the scale the easier it becomes.

    Headband magnifiers - are they any good?

    I have the Donegal version and it makes a huge difference over the cheaper version I have, the comfort of it is excellent it also feels better on your head more balanced which allows me to wear it for longer periods. I think I paid about £50 expensive but worth it in the long run. Jim
